Within the store are themed pods with statue collectables in various sizes inspired by well-loved universes, ranging from Marvel, DC, and Ultraman, to Godzilla and Transformers.
The Transformers-themed pod features XM’s latest Optimus Prime and Megatron busts that span a height of almost 1 metre.
Several never-before-seen statue collectables will make an appearance, including that of Spider-Man–Absolute Carnage and the highly anticipated Avengers–Maestro (Exclusive) inspired by Marvel characters and DC’s Death Metal-Batman Who Laughs. Fans can also pre-order these items in store.
Additionally, to nurture a deeper affinity with their legion of global collectors, Live@XM, an open broadcast studio is designed to develop richer digital content from new product teasers, podcasts, unboxing videos, to exclusive interviews and more.
On the edutainment front, XM will host future in-house programmes with industry partners and licensees on art, design, gaming, comics, and collectables, to support and inspire a young community of artists.
To round out visitors’ experience at their stores, the space also hosts 99 Gelato Coffee Bar, serving premium coffee, tea, pastries, and gelato, as well as UNIC, a lifestyle store featuring curated designer and luxury items.
The XM Studios Concept Store is located on Level 3 of Kitchener Complex, located right by Lavender MRT Station (Exit B), and is open from 11 AM to 8 PM on weekdays, and 10 AM to 8 PM on weekends.
